The reality of life is that we will all die. Some will die quietly, peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Some will die messily, painfully, alone and afraid. This is the reality we must all live in and accept.

It’s very possible that our species will die out. That is not an inherently bad or evil thing. Countless species have come and gone from Earth. Whether we destroy ourselves through war and ignorance, or we continue to thrive, doesn’t matter right now. What does matter is you.

You describe symptoms of depression and anxiety. You are sad and scared, and this is in part due to feeling powerless to fix the world. However, the only thing you have power over is yourself. Focus on helping yourself before you try to help the world. Try to find peace within yourself before seeking it in the world. The world is not, and has never been, a place of peace.

If you’d like practical advice, then I’d say stay away from weed and THC if it’s making you anxious. Keep away from alcohol as it will just exacerbate your depressed feelings. If you haven’t already, please discuss your feelings with a therapist and see a psychiatrist for mental health diagnoses and treatment. If either of these hasn’t worked for you before, I’d urge you to seek second opinions.

“The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower. But war never changes.”

Prison Management: “But parolees don’t perform legal slave labor and can’t be tortured on a daily basis!”

Fascists: “We reject your reality and substitute our own!”

You know, maybe they should have been concerned with what their players wanted from a sequel in the early planning stages of Payday 3. It’s bizarre to read a statement like this on a released, full-priced game.

Don’t forget the absurdly bad re-release of Warcraft 3!

I wish to pat Matt!

I both approve of the googly eyes and wish for my own coal friend! Kinda like a little earth golem.

I didn’t choose the hug life…

I am not familiar with this dish, but that looks amazing! I need to try more French cuisine.

I shot the boughs with my bow and then gave a bow to my beau!

It’s fascinating how authoritarians demand respect, but throw fits over such petty symbols. “Our DIVINELY chosen, absolutely perfect leader’s own son was killed while DEFINITELY NOT cooking with eggs. How dare ANY true citizen take pride in making such a VULGAR dish?! Egg fried rice shakes the very foundations of our flawless, unshakable regime!”

Does Nixon’s head in Futurama count?

West has been confirmed ‘whelmed’ by the intense slamming

Right, but then I get overwhelmed with this huge list of tasks!

I’ve got it toooo!

Right, but my problem is that I hate myself

It warms my heart just a little to see crooks robbing crooks.

I dunno, if a government cares enough to look into this then the corpos might get some VERY sharp slaps on their wrists.

Literal Nazis
